The Duke's Substitute Wife
Surprised

"Woooooooooooooowwww," Viola shouted loudly as the dark horse galloped. He was already tired of arguing with Flora who did not allow him to ride a horse. He really wants to ride a horse, his hobby has long been not realized. When there was still his uncle, he often visited his Uncle's hometown and rode horses.

"Madam" cried Flora with teary eyes. The horse was very strong and the shiny black hair was fluttering in the wind. Looking from afar, it was as if the goddess was riding a horse approaching them. Then getting closer to the goddess would pull her into her arms and the horse just passed by Flora. Flora cursed her illusions that did not arrive.

"Madam, be careful." cried Flora.

From a distance two pairs of smiling eyes, he admired the game in front of him. A beautiful woman with a dignified face was riding on a horse. He became more interested in getting to know the girl.

The other pair of eyes. Middle dumbfounded. He rounded his mouth in the shape of an O. His eyes blinked without breathing. He rubbed his eyes as the horse passed in front of him. It's not wrong to see, she's the woman he knows. Duchess Viola, however, saw her riding on a horse as if she was not the Duchess Viola she knew.

"Ah, let it go. That's none of his business. After all Uncle wouldn't be interested in hearing that story." The man went to Duke Cristin's house to meet his uncle. He hadn't visited in a long time.

Arriving at the Duke's residence. The man got off his horse. He put his foot into the house. Duke Cristin, Duke Arland and Duchess Eliana are worried. While the man next to Duchess Eliana was just acting relaxed.

"What's with their faces? did I get it wrong when I came today?" Mumbled.

"Is it possible they're busy looking for Lady Abella?"

"What's the matter Uncle? did Uncle find Lady Abella?" ask the man to smile.

"Exsel," Duke Cristin massaged his temple. Since then he was pacing back and forth not Abella who crossed his mind. But Viola went somewhere without his permission. Viola used to be before he left, as busy as he was. He must have asked her permission. But now, Viola's change made him shocked, anxious and happy. I don't know, that's the heart he feels when he's with Viola.

"Huh," Exsel scratched his non-itchy ear. Her ears were no longer working until she listened to her Uncle worry about Duchess Viola. Her uncle never wanted to know what Duchess Viola was doing. Yes, it could be said that his uncle did not care about his whereabouts. Meeting and greeting them is very rare. Even the eyes of the Uncle had never looked towards the Duchess Viola even though they were passing by in this residence. Consider the Duchess Viola a traveling statue in her opinion.

"Uncle I'm sure Lady Abella will soon be found. My uncle is patient. Love will be beautiful in Uncle's time." said Exsel showed a sad face and practiced his hand as if holding a flower. He was still convinced, his ears must have heard wrong. He convinced his heart and hearing that his uncle was Lady Abella not Duchess Viola.

Duke Cristin sighed, again he was made dizzy with Exsel's behavior which he thought was very strange behavior. Duke Cristin caught both hands, he stared at both Exsel's eyeballs.

Deg

Exsel's heart was beating fast, he was staring at his Uncle's face. There's no way his uncle lost his mind not finding Abella.

"Uncle, Exsel tau. Exsel is not married. Uncle don't do this to Exsel." With a sad and sad face.

Duke Cristin raised his eyebrows, he moved his hand. He wanted to dissect his nephew's erratic brain.

"Exsel listen," Duke Cristin gently rubbed his head. But the softness is accompanied by emphasis. "Uncle thought of your Aunt who suddenly disappeared." Duke Cristin squeezes Exsel's hair. He grimaced in pain but was still shocked.

"Auntie." Exsel regressed his footsteps. "Don't Uncle know? Aunt is riding a horse. " Exsel stroked his chin by crossing both of his hands. "Even Auntie looks a lot like Uncle's goddess. Her beauty aura could not make me turn away. Even many men were amazed by Auntie. Until their eyes don't blink." he said, recalling the captivity at the horse's place.

"What?!" shouted the three men.
